In 2006, Felix began his gridiron journey at the age of eight.

With the mosquito Sherbrooke Bulldogs (2009), he won several accolades while guiding the team to a Championship including Offensive Player of the Year, Championship MVP and Best Running Back honours.

The running back moved on to suit up for the Sherbrooke Barons for three seasons (2010-2012).  During that time, he was named Offensive MVP (2011) and The Warrior (2012).

Recently, Felix played for the RSEQ Juvenile Division 1’s Triolet Harfangs where he was Special Teams MVP (2013), Offensive MVP (2013) and Rookie of the Year (2014). Additionally, he was named RSEQ Juvenile 1’s Player of the Week on September 21^st, 2014.

The Harfangs standout has also received five All-Star selections during his career.

“I think the most memorable football experience is winning a championship,” recalls Felix of the highlight of his gridiron career.  “All the work you’ve done pays off and it’s the best feeling.”

“With your teammates that you’ve learn to play with them, for me, it’s the most memorable football experience.”

In his quest to achieve further gridiron success, the Hafangs running back undergoes a rigorous training regimen throughout the year.

“I train two hours a day,” describes Felix.  “Each day of the year at school, I’m in sports etude FOOTBALL.”

“During the season, I have practice three times the week after school for two hours 30 minutes.”

As one of seven children, Felix depends on his big family as his main source of support and motivation, especially his parents and his older brother.

“My parents have shown me everything,” expresses the running back.  “They are the most influential people in my life.”

“I think that when you want to reach success, you don’t need to get influenced, follow your own path and work for what you want.  My brother also plays football so it’s a motivation for me to follow him as he is going to Laval University next year.”

Already, Felix has some ideas about his future academic and career aspirations.

“I’m planning to be a cop,” says the Harfangs standout.  “But I want to play football as a professional.”

“That’s my first option and I will work for it at school and on the field.”

Currently, Felix is deliberating over his CEGEP options.  He is considering three Division 1 programs – Champlain-Lennoxville, CNDF (Notre Dame de Foy) and Vieux-Montreal. However, a front runner has emerged from the pack.

“I’m going to visit the schools then I’m going to make my choice,” offers Felix.  “My brother went to the Cougars, so for the moment it’s my first choice.”

Overall, the Harfangs running back credits the game for giving him the recipe for success in all aspects of his life.

“I learned to trust people,” comments Felix.  “In football, you need to trust you teammates to do their job and so, you can do yours.”

“Trust is really important and it helped me in life to do the same.”
